I love this series! I took one semester in culinary arts school, and found that I couldn't afford all the stuff necessary for the classes I needed to take. But it's fascinating watching people live out the life I would have lived, had I completed school with that major. As it is, I went to film school, and am now a filmmaker, but it's always good to see the passion people have for the craft of cuisine. And I love how genuinely surprised Alvin seems every time somebody hands him some food. "For me?" Keep up the good work. You allow me to live vicariously through the documentation of people who do for a living, what I do for my wife and myself.

I know this is Chef Dreifus' business, but what a poignant example of what it means to work and live in a spirit of generosity. That he cooks for his staff? That he cares to make cookies that resonate with people on an emotional level? Amazing, but also a great role model for any who wish to be in business for themselves. There is a story in every cookie, as there should be in anything we endeavour to create.
